I'm proud of this one, but it does not make me happy.

Vocal bits are excerpts from Charles Fort's description on Wikipedia or from his works (available from Project Gutenberg). While watching some horror movie late in February 2015, I suddenly had an itch to play something long and slow. Used 5-string…

Coulrophobia = fear of clowns. *shudder* Created in FL Studio.

Parametric plugin drums plus guitar and bass. Clearly remember watching the rare Alabama snow fall into the light from our front porch, right under the double windows in my office/studio. The image has nothing to do with the track or the title…

Created in FL Studio.

Parametric plugin drums, plus 5-string bass and Squier Strat copy. Might have recorded an acoustic guitar track as well, but it didn't work as well as the electric track, and the "song" sounded too busy with both.

Recorded on my 1-string cat head diddley bow, which was made by Johnny Lowebow in Memphis, TN.

Programmed drums, baritone guitar, and 6-string electric. Kinda boring, but it's only a minute and a half. :)

Mandolin, acoustic guitar, and 5-string electric bass. Obviously, my guitar strumming cannot keep up with my mandolin picking.

Built from 4 measures of sheet music appearing in the issue of Fortean Times used for inspiration. Created in FL Studio.

Acoustic guitar, bowed psaltery, and various percussion. It took longer to tune the psaltery than to stumble through 3-4 takes of the simplistic melody.

Parametric plugin drums, guitar, and bass.

Collage of leftovers from the recording sessions for this album and the corresponding Spice Rack Collective album, Could Have Done Better.

The happiest-sounding thing I've ever recorded, as far as I can remember. Played on my new (at the time) acoustic guitar, upright bass, and thrift-store student-model bells.

Insufferably conceptual - nature vs. mankind.

Started with a programmed cello part that I forgot to unmute when I exported the WAV and MP3 files. Ah, well.

I picture three rickety automatons, their paint cracked and faded, dancing near each other in a dusty "futuristic" cabaret that humans have not visited in a couple of decades. The figures should dance together, but their hands rest a few inches…

Programmed drums, one of my bass guitars, and my flat-black Epiphone Explorer.

Parametric plugin drums and my old Ibanez shredder guitar.

Parametric plugin drums and either my new seafoam Squier Strat copy, or the last hurrah for the old Fernandes Strat copy that I sold back to its original owner.
